Readers, I know it has been a while since we blogged about yard saling. That is because it has been a while since we yard saled. Soccer, scouts, errands (recall my " rigurous nursing program", such that I can manage to do grocery shopping on weekends), etc all conspire to monopolize my time. Plus, for some reason, these lovely midwesterners (Hi, friendly midwestern readers of this blog!) seem to think that many and varied celebrations must occur during this month and no other time. Fall harvest time apparently is still a worthy celebration to be celebrated, in a celebratory kind of way. For my southern friends, think hay, corn, racing pigs (I still can't figure out the connections greased piglets (ok, ok, I don't know if they are technically greased, but it makes for a more vivid image) have to autumn, but whatever), massive amounts of apples and pumpkins, and scarecrows aplenty. So that leaves scarce time for yard saling during October.
But my November is fairly dismal, especially since Nancy cancelled our Ikea trip. But it is for a great cause: Nancy's mom is moving to our town! Yay, Nancy's mom! However, I have very little event-ing going on in November, and, sadly, yard saling season is drawing to a close, because if you are not from 'round these here parts, you can't understand how frigid your own parts will get here in November. No one can find the joy of shopping in someone's ice-covered front yard, even Nancy and I. No, we hunker down by the heat registers (me) or fire (Nancy) to play oodles of games with the kids.
I am trying to rally the troops for this weekend to yard sale. Stay tuned.

Dude... do not dis the Midwesterners.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, corn is important, Madam.
Secondly, celebrating the harvest is just what we do before the nasty hibernation of winter.
Third of all, that was a lot of parentheses inside of parentheses.
So , yes. We will yardsale this weekend. If only at the church by Main St. Market. where they are having a Rummage Sale.
And I WILL blog about my adventure on Saturday...because I DID yardsale, albeit mostly alone, but to very productive and prosperous ends!
